I just finished the Grail Quest series and wanted to tell you that I think I enjoyed these books more than any others I have read, certainly in this genre, in a long time. Thomas of Hookton and other characters were fascinating and I liked them because there were no completely "good" men and women characters and few"Bad" ones. I appreciated their flaws and their dark sides. I read the FAQ's on this site and was disappointed to see there will be no more Thomas of Hookton. I read that you thought you "wanted too much for him" but I think he has enough depth for more than one more book.And he is still young! I saw the Sharpe series with Sean Bean and now will read those and some of your others, but I did love this series and almost hated to end it! Please consider resurrecting Thomas of Hookton & company. Deborah Capuano

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have been an avid fan of all of your stories since the age of thirteen. Dick Sharpe is and always will be my hero I consider him almost a friend. All of my books are well thumbed and have been read many many times. I have grown up with your charcters and I like to think some of them have had an influence on decisions and choices in my life. Without them it is safe to say I would not have turned out the way I have. You and your work will always have a place in my heart. I would like to thank you for all your hard work and I hope that knowing how special your work is to your fans brings a constant smile to your face. I await the Pale Horseman release with far too much anticipation. I feel like a child waiting for Christmas. With Gratitude, Jay

Sir,

I have recently discovered your works (quite by accident, I must admit) and since picking up the first Sharpe novel I have been thoroughly captivated by everything that I've read (Sharpe, Starbuck, Stonehenge, Redcoat, etc.) Your work shows a wonderful talent for story telling combined with impressive imagery and a fine feel for the historical period they are set in. Well done! Please continue to share you work with us.

Again, thank you for the hours of enjoyment.

Mr. Cornwell; Just wanted to leave you a quick note saying how much my wife and I enjoy reading your stories. We have just recently started the Sharpe series. We have enjoyed some of your other works as well (The Grail Quest, The Arthur Books, Redcoat, Gallow's Thief). Hope you find continued success and we look forward to finishing the Sharpes books. With regards, Terry and Marlene Peek Asheville, NC

Finished the O'Brian books and was looking around for something that had the same "life in it". Ran accross a video of one of the Sharpe episodes and liked the character enough to seek out your books. Wow! What a fine, fine read. I am reading them in chronological order, Sharpe's not your writing order and I am stunned by what a fine author you are. Often I have been disappointed with series because the long haul to write a fantasy history in order seems to tire out the author. But your writing them in the order that interests YOU breathes life into every book. You have opened my eyes to a different approach to writing and have given me hours of reading pleasure and a refuge at a rather stressful time in my life. Thank you. Patricia Hedtke

PLEASE PLEASE ANOTHER STARBUCK BOOK. Nigel Faithful

Mr. Cornwell - I have very much enjoyed reading your novels. I discovered the Sharpe series while looking for something to give me a different perspective after becoming enthralled with O'Brien. Most enjoyable for me, however, has been the fact that I have been able to pass on my enjoyment of your work to my 36 year old son. It speaks to the quality of your work that father and son, both English teachers, have found a new contact point between them in the joy of reading the Sharpe Series. Alex has gone on into your other work and introduced me to the Archer series and has just handed me the first book in the Arthur trilogy. Our mutual pleasure in sharing your works has added much to our relationship. Thanks very much. Ted Lehmann

Dear Mr Cornwell I just wanted to say that I enjoyed all of your Sharpe books and I now know a lot more about the history of that period. I perticularly "Sharpe's Waterloo" the best account of the battle I have ever read. Thank you for a great series of books I am now starting on "The Starbuck Chronicles" but I will miss Richard Sharpe as he has become an old friend. Christopher Brown

Dear Mr Cornwell,
having gone through the Sharpe, Arthur and the Starbuck series. I have just finished Harlequin and I now have Vagabond tempting me from the bookshelf

Your other books were very good ( especially the sharp series ) but I found harlequin a book of rare quality. The only other work I have read that had the "superglue" effects on my hands was my first reading of the the lord of the Rings in 1975 .

Obviosly I have no knowledge yet on how Thomas of Hookton developes as a character but as you have no immediate plans for another book- please do not leave him gathering dust for to long.

As a side issue the Sharpe film series was good but what a motion picture Harlequin would make !!

Thanks
Steve

THE LAST KINGDOM - This is the best book since the Sharpe Books, it has all the ingredients of being a good, and if not a better series than the Sharpe books. Cannot wait until the next book. I have kept every book you have written in all the historic books. Thank You. David Hand
